Chapter 77: Chapter 77: His Protection of Her Surprises Her
Father Mu saw Ming Yao lower her head, taking it as a sign of her guilt, and strode past Gu Siting, furiously marching towards her.
“You lowly maid, how dare you feed my son random medication? If anything happens to my son, your life will be the compensation!”
As Father Mu spoke, he raised his hand and swung it towards Ming Yao’s face.
Consumed by rage, he put all his strength into this slap, which might knock out several of Ming Yao’s teeth.
Ming Yao clenched her fist slightly, and as she was about to punch Father Mu, a long, fair hand reached out and grabbed Father Mu’s wrist.
Father Mu was held fast, nearly unable to move.
He looked up at the man who had grabbed his wrist and shouted angrily, “Gu Siting, what are you doing?”
Relying on Mu Chengjin’s favor, Father Mu was not afraid of Gu Siting, and even acted arrogantly and recklessly!
Gu Siting’s handsome features were tense, his deep-set eyes sharp, and his entire presence powerful and cold.
He stared at Father Mu without expression and coldly let out, “Uncle Mu, she is mine to discipline, not for you to touch!”
Ming Yao lifted her long lashes for a glance at Gu Siting.
In the face of the seething Father Mu, who wanted to physically strike her, he did not yield in the slightest.
His protective stance towards her was utterly surprising.
She hadn’t expected Tyrant Gu to show such favor to a little maid!
By defending her like this, he was effectively offending Father Mu.
Father Mu’s chest heaved with anger, “Gu Siting, your little maid is about to kill Chengjin, and you still protect her?”
Gu Siting ignored Father Mu and looked at Ming Yao, his black eyes dark and abyssal, as if drawing people into a whirlpool, “Did you give this medicine to Chengjin?”
“If not her, then who? She is the murderer. Gu Siting, by defending her like this, do you also want to harm Chengjin? Are you tired of Chengjin being a burden to you?”
Ming Yao’s head throbbed with the noise of Father Mu’s shouting, and she suppressed the exasperation in her heart, lifting her gaze for a fleeting look at Father Mu.
Being looked at by her, Father Mu was inexplicably struck a blow.
Was it his imagination?
Otherwise, how did he just now feel intimidated by the gaze of this ordinary little maid?
When Father Mu stopped speaking, Ming Yao nodded at Gu Siting, “The medicine was given to Young Master Mu by me, but it is meant to strengthen and benefit one’s health, and there’s absolutely no danger to life.”
No sooner had Ming Yao finished speaking than a charming voice rang out, “Uncle Mu, Chengjin is in a serious condition, we must rush him to the hospital.”
Zhou Zhiyan came out of Mu Chengjin’s room, wearing a white lab coat, her pretty face serious.
Zhou Zhiyan was the most renowned surgeon in Li City, and if she said Mu Chengjin was in critical condition, it must be very serious.
Apparently, Zhou Zhiyan had not expected to encounter Gu Siting at the Mu family’s house, and she was momentarily stunned before she regained her composure and smiled gently, “Brother Ting, don’t worry, I’ll do my best to save Chengjin.”
Zhou Zhiyan knew that Gu Siting cared deeply about his good brother Mu Chengjin, and even though they were not blood-related, their bond was stronger than that of real brothers.
As long as she saved Mu Chengjin’s life, Gu Siting would certainly regard her with new respect.
Hearing that Mu Chengjin was in danger, Gu Siting took long strides towards the room.
Ming Yao followed Gu Siting into the room, and Father Mu, wanting to stop her, was already too late.
Mu Chengjin lay on the bed, devoid of color, having lost a great deal of weight in just a short time.
He looked lifeless, as if he were about to depart this world.
